Cut Creation Barbers

Watching barber Dinesh Naidu cut and shape hair, it is clear he is a perfectionist and wants every client to look their best.

Dinesh is the owner of Cut Creation Barbers in Whangaparāoa. This is his fourth barbershop in Auckland, and in Whangaparāoa he will share the barbering with Hibiscus Coast local barber, Sadlva Mani.

Growing up in Fiji, Dinesh always wanted to cut hair and says he learned the best way, by working alongside a barber.

He’s been a professional barber for 15 years and moved to New Zealand seven years ago. Currently he lives in Manurewa, so it’s an early start for him to get to the Hibiscus Coast each morning.

Dinesh enjoys the precision and fine detail required of things such as razor and zero fades but he’s happy working on any style or length of men’s hair, trimming beards and also shaving heads.

“People look happier and younger when they’ve had a haircut,” he says. “What I enjoy is making them look smart and feel good.”

Talking to customers is another aspect of the job that Dinesh relishes.

“I have no family in New Zealand, so my customers have become family,” he says. “That’s one reason I chose to be a barber in New Zealand, to meet lots of people through work and keep busy and happy.”

Dinesh set up Cut Creation Barbers in Whangaparāoa (by St Pierre’s) towards the end of last year and says good feedback and reviews online and plenty of repeat customers shows that he must be getting it right.
